'thoughts' ''talking''
Will begin at valley of the end.
Naruto raced at Sasuke with his rasengan spinning tainted in red chakra from the Nine-tail fox's chakra.
Sasuke raced right at him with his tainted chidori black and cackling with tainted curse mark chakra.
They met together at the water fall. Naruto aimed for the tainted looking boy, who skin was grey an discolored with long blue hair an a pointed cross on his face that spanned from his forehead to nose.
He stretched his arm out to meet the flapping chidori. The two powerful jutsu clashed with each other. The boys poured every ounce of their chakra and power in to their jutsu.
The two techniques were soon mixing an colliding, then in a bright flash a black an white sphere erupted from the clashing power an the two boys were engulfed as well as the valley in a white flash that subsided moments later.
Seconds later what could be seen was Naruto on the ground gripping his stomach.
Sasuke had been thrown back an his curse seal was now receding. He observed the erratically squirming an screaming now normal looking Naruto. He struggled to stand as he heard the blonde scream. He interestedly stared at the blonde who was bleeding heavily from his mouth, his body convulsing with spasms on the ground an clawing at his abdomen.
Sasuke witnessed how Naruto clawed at his stomach until it was free of clothes, he then saw a black seal with a spiraling center and 5 squiggly lines off the sides of the circle. He watched as Naruto's cries grew louder an then the patterns morph an collapse in on itself becoming one big black hole.
He saw then as the blonde spurt blood from his mouth an stop convulsing, the blonde boy's head slowly loll to the side.
Sasuke was confused at the turn of events for he knew he could not have done this to Naruto. He stumbled over on tired legs to the impossibly still blonde. He looked down on the blonde an went down in a heap to the side of the blood stained head.
He then noticed the rain that now poured down. Staring he saw that the naked upper body did not move at all, it no longer breathed.
The idea of him having to kill Naruto to get the next level of his sharingan, the Mangekyo sharingan was the only thing on his mind.
Sasuke leaned down reaching out to a tan chest he shook it. ''Naruto'' he said tiredly he shook the body again more furiously, trying hard not to believe the blonde dead an yet he was not the cause of it. He knew though just looking in the blonde's glazed lifeless blue eyes the boy had died. He looked at the body as he stood up. He then took off his Leaf head band an let it fall off to the body below him.
It had a slash running threw it from a rasengan.
Sasuke felt in his heart that he did not kill the blonde an that it was the seal that did it why an how he knew not.
But knew he had one less link to power now. Making it imperative he go to Orochimaru, for he really now had nothing to gain from staying any longer.
The bond he had to sever for power was gone. Before he himself could break the chain.
He turned to the border tired but ran with all he had. He murmured upset ''Dobe. Not even good for killing. Dieing before I could finish you off''
SPIRIT FORM
Naruto was above his body looking around in confusion for he did not know what had happened.
He was in pure pain, wondering if he was dieing, an yet now here he was after the excruciating pain he felt. Some how now looking around at a lying still form of himself an Sasuke who was still leaving.
''WHERE ARE YOU GOING BASTARD!'' he called but was payed no attention to.
It was as if the Uchiha did not even see him. He watched as Sasuke ran away an muttered the words that awoke his senses. No, I can't really be dead!
The idea danced in his head confusing an scaring him.
That made him finally notice a chain that was hanging out of his chest in 6 big links, he touched the links. An noticed how they were solid an cold.
''I am dead but how!'' he yelled melancholy.
''Simple the seal backfired while you were pulling chakra from me'' he heard a low voice answer.
Naruto turned to see a fox all red in color an quite large with 9 tails draping behind it's body. He immediately backed away from the fox knowing who it was.
''How are you out!" he spoke hesitantly preparing to defend himself with a jutsu.
The fox rolled his eyes ''We are dead an our souls tied as one that is why. Look at our chains they are even the same color an amount of links proof we are one well almost anyway.'' ''How, how did this happen?''he asked afraid to know the answer
''It does not matter for we are about to go to hell. I should warn you, you will not like it there an you will probably be broken I don't really care for when you are broken I will absorb you. So just stick close to me so I can absorb your carcass soon.'' Naruto's eyes widened ''Why! am I going to hell?'' he asked in a panic.
The fox laughed ''The seal bonded us both as one an we are going there for my many, many, many, crimes in life. An as such threw our bond my crimes are yours an such as your crimes are mine. Your crimes are pretty much non-existent but mine well lets just say the very lowest level of hell here we come any minute now'' the talking fox in a flat tone. Unfazed by the boy's scared an unbelieving look.
''How do you know all this?'' ''Simple, I a couple thousand years back died but i was able to just climb my way out of hell. . . It took a while but I did make my way out an I am sure I could do it again.''
Naruto did not want to go to hell, who did. An now he learned he was to go there for a fault not his own, he looked down, sullenly, at the rain soaked ground.
''Why do bad things always happen to me?'' he asked to himself.
The fox huffed annoyed an commented ''I will tell you one thing though, stupid kid it is not smart to start feeling things. For if you do stupidly in this stage well I won't say more'' the fox said cryptically.
Naruto looked up with teary eyes an spoke in a broken voice ''What is it like there?'' he asked, ninja instincts kicking in to gather intel, on a place.
The fox chuckled amusedly ''The hell guardians are a bitch an well the place is, hm how could I explain this with out being too complicated but getting a point across to a moron like you oh yes, HELL IS BAD!'' he finished annoyed.
Naruto wiped his eyes then resigned himself with a strong attitude ''If a asshole like you can climb his way from hell so can I'' the fox smiled a fanged smile
''Prepare to fight. For my sins are various an my punishment infinite. With you with me I will probably be there longer an no there will be no jutsu Naruto'' the fox stated, enjoying the look he saw on the boy's face.
Naruto now felt despair. No jutsu?.
He felt a aching feeling on the chain but stopped his emotion. Remembering what the fox had said.
The ache left him quickly.
He then asked ''Then how will I fight?'' ''Any way you can, learn for your self brat hm seems the time is here'' the fox replied. His fur now standing spiked up around his body in a menacing fashion.
The blonde looked to were the fox head was pointed an saw a double door that had the skeleton of two bodies affixed upon it, acting as a sort of door knob. With heads wrapped in bandages an one eye exposed on each head. The door was huge an imposing.
The skeleton bodies slowly parted from their latched together position as the door began to open.
Kyubi was not worried, he knew he was in for a nightmarish time but he would not falter or know fear. He would destroy those in his way or who tried to stop him from escaping he knew he had to go to hell to get back alive, it was a cycle.
He saw the kid an how he looked almost crushed at what was to happen to him. poor stupid kid, oh well
The fox stood waiting for the door to open for he knew he had not seen them in a long while. He was a bit surprised that they looked the same although he figured his special place in hell was probably waiting for him an now made more secure.
The doors opened fully to show a barren rock wasteland of fire and orange yellow magma that bubbled in streams down many standing large rock towers. That looked like thirty foot tall volcanoes.
The beyond extreme heat the open doors to the wasteland let out, made the Uzumaki boy back away from the place that emanated the heat so strong that threatened to melt him an he was not even close to it.
Naruto and Kyubi caught sight of what seemed to be monsters all waiting for them. They walked on all fours an had hugely muscled arms an white masked faces that were all long an jutted down in a sharp pointed angle hiding away a small head.
The masked monsters moved slowly towards the two.
Naruto saw that there was millions of them upon millions all moving sometimes around or threw the terrain.
Kyubi spoke ''An those would be the hell guardians, they will be making our after lives well, hell. Even more so with never ending torture an what not. I am going to fight an I will kill them all.'' Naruto looked at the hordes of monsters than at Kyubi ''Fuck it! I don't deserve this at all!'' he screamed outraged.
Kyubi laughed a hardy laugh. ''Yes but blame your father he did the seal'' Naruto in shock asked ''The 4th was my father?''
The fox laughed ''You really are stupid'' was his last words as he ran threw the door at the hordes of monsters.
The fox began fighting. Using anything he had to fend off the monsters.
Kyubi clawed and bit at all the oncoming monsters that soon enough had him surrounded an tried to grab his chain that hung from his chest but the hell guardians were quickly made aware of their foolish attempts as they were shredded by claws to bits or consumed by a fanged mouth.
Naruto noticed Kyubi when he bit one of the guardians had ate their flesh an quickly. An some how would be able to keep going as if he was not tired yet.
He then saw how the monsters never let Kyubi get a break an ignored their wounds which healed almost instantly. He then went back to looking at the hordes that still came at him at a slow but deliberate pace.
Naruto was forced by a unseen hand inside the oven an felt despair an horror from the place, it was as if the place had the most foulest killing intent an hate he had ever felt. Easily dwarfing anything he had ever felt before. He almost cried as he heard the doors quickly shut behind him.
He looked upon the huge beasts that were many times bigger then him that quickly surrounded him, an how they opened there jagged tooth mouth that stretched impossibly large from their faces, an reached out with a overly large hand to grab him.
''I won't give up'' was the words he bit out as he moved around the hand an bit it with force, tearing off some flesh, taking Kyubi's lead of not stopping an eating fast.
He swallowed an felt a pain in his stomach that he ignored to keep swinging, biting, an fighting for his life. Before long he knew his true despair. To be fighting forever in a barren wasteland, but he swore he would fight against it no matter what. . . An escape. . . one day.
UNTIL LATER...
